Big Sister Card

We really wanted to do something special for our 3 year old at the time baby was born - just to help her with the transition to being a big sister, and making sure she knew how important she is to us, and how much we love her. A few weeks before Christmas, I found the perfect little gift to put away for her. Then I decided she also needed a special card to go with it:

Overall this card didn't come together quite how I saw it in my head. There are certain parts of it that I am really happy with - the colour combo, the layout and the butterfly. The big sister panel just doesn't work for me tho..

It's really hard to see the detail in the pics but the butterfly is pretty cool - to start with I stamped an image from Butterfly Prints onto acetate using White Stazon. Next I punched out the butterfly and turned it over to the wrong side, where I coated it with a layer of Crystal Effects. Then I scooped on the glitter and left it to try.

Materials
Stamps: Butterfly Prints, Jumbo Outline Alpha
Cardstock: Rose Red, Certainly Celery, Whisper White, So Saffron Patterns DSP, Tea Party DSP
Ink: Rose Red, Watercolour Crayons
Other: Corner Rounder Punch, White Grosgrain Ribbon, Blender Pen, Buttons
